WHITMORE-DUGAN'S HOUSE
It was a few days after Cameron turned on the JSA after he learned the truth of his father's death. Things were still looking grim for the JSA. Pat was still unconscious from the attack, and Cameron was nowhere to be found despite Wildcat pushing the team to try to locate the boy, fearing the worst that might happen.
As for Courtney, the blond couldn't stop feeling guilty for what happened, knowing that it was her fault, the result of her choice. Courtney spent most of the time alone in her room, mostly just feeling guilty and crying.
"How is she?" asked Yolanda concerned for the young superheroine who was nowhere in sight as she walked into the house.
"Still the same, refuses the come out of her room unless she needs to go to the toilet," Barbara told the Latina sighing.
"Pat?" asked Barbara, her voice sounded worried.
"The doctors say that he will recover," Yolanda answered. Rick and Beth are at the hospital now. "Don't worry Barbara... He will be fine." Yolanda comforted.
"I know… but… I'm still worried about Cameron, where is he now?" asked Barbara worryingly, looking at the brunette.
"Still unable to find him. I'd been looking everywhere, even his father's house. It seemed empty," Yolanda said. "As if he just… disappeared."
"Maybe he left town?" suggested Mike, who stood beside his step-mom.
"That's a possibility," Yolanda replied. "But what worries me and the rest of the JSA is that Cindy Burman is still out there, somewhere, who the hell knows what is she up to."
"You mean the girl that sent Courtney to the ER a few months ago?" asked Barbara, in shock.
"Yes," Yolanda replied stiffly, still feeling that same hatred she had for the girl that made her life so miserable.
"Well, she is just one bad guy. What does it got to do with Cameron?" asked Mike puzzled.
"Mike… use your brains. Cameron is Icicle's son. Cindy's bound to find him and maybe even recruit him for who knows what reason," Yolanda scoffed.
"Well, why do you all worry so much? Did that bitch go around the town to recruit anyone else?" asked Mike. The look on Yolanda's face answered that question plain and clear. "She did?" asked Mike, frowning at Yolanda who wondered how to break the news to the two.
"Yolanda? Is there something you want to tell us?" asked Barbara, eyeing the conflicted girl.
Before everything that went down with Cameron, the JSA were previously busy tracking the remainder of the ISA, they managed to subdue Sportsmaster and Tigress with the help of Cameron's powers. After the capture of Sportsmaster and Tigress was when the madness truly began, Cindy came out of the shadows attacking Courtney during the patrol, alongside with her was a masked figure playing a violin and a hooded figure that has the exact same weaponry as Tigress. It didn't take much time for the JSA to assume that Cindy is now recruiting the previous ISA's kids. Yolanda remembered that night, it was a scary one as Cindy blades slashed a deep cut on the blondie's arm.
"This is a warning, Stargirl. Get ready. We'll be coming for our revenge!"
Cindy's voice sounded clear in her head. And now that Cameron has left the JSA. Yolanda, Rick and Beth could only fear the worst that was about to happen to them and their family.
"You mean… Cindy might have already recruited him?" asked Barbara worried after Yolanda finished explaining.
"I shouldn't have drove the truck that day," Mike muttered. Ever since Cameron's turn, he never has felt guiltier before.
"Although I don't want it to happen. It would seem so," Yolanda said painedly.
"But… what does she want?" asked Barbara.
"Well, I know Cindy, she's not the person that would want to "help" make a "better" world. She is out for revenge, on all of us," Yolanda said grimly.
UNDISCLOSED LOCATION
"So let me get this straight," Cameron said. "My father was trying to make a better world and the JSA killed him?" asked Cameron furiously.
"Yes," Cindy said smirkingly.
"I trusted them… I trusted her," Cameron said angrily, clenching his fists.
"Cool down Cameron," Cindy said calmly. "That's why I recruited you," Cindy revealed.
"Why is that?"
"To get revenge, for our parents, and fulfill their dreams of making a better world," Cindy explained as she gestured towards the portrait of the ISA at its previous might.
Cameron looked at his father. Remembering all the time he took care of him after he died, all the times they shared, clenching his fist as he opened his eyes.
"I'm in."
